FLYING DURING PREGNANCY
Pregnant women are permitted to fly on our airline’s flights in the absence of contraindications and complications during pregnancy under the following conditions and terms of pregnancy:
| One child is expected | More than one child is expected | |
| 1–31 weeks | Flight is allowed | Flight is allowed |
| 32-35 weeks | Flight is allowed | Not allowed tofly |
| More than 35 weeks | Not allowed to fly | Not allowed to fly |
When checking in for the flight, the expectant mother must present a document confirming the duration of pregnancy and the presence of a single or multiple pregnancy.
Expectant mothers who are 22 weeks pregnant or more must present at the check-in desk to an agent or representative of the airline a valid document (certificate, medical book, conclusion of an obstetrician-gynecologist based on the results of screening / examination, HCG analysis, and ultrasound, etc.), signed by a doctor and containing reliable information about the absence of contraindications to the flight.
Such a document must be issued no more than 7 days before the departure date on the first leg of the route indicated on the ticket. The total validity period of such a document for presentation on the return/subsequent sections of the transportation route is no more than 30 days from the date of its registration.
If the flight admission periods indicated in the table are exceeded, pregnant women are not allowed on JSC flights even if they have valid medical documents confirming the normal course of pregnancy and the absence of complications.
Here are some tips for expectant mothers that will help them feel safe and comfortable while traveling.:
• The optimal time to travel by plane during pregnancy is considered to be the second trimester, that is, the period from 13 to 28 weeks. If the flight is planned at a later stage of pregnancy, think in advance where you can seek medical help at the destination. For some foreign trips, you can get travel medical insurance.
• Visit your doctor before the flight and get recommendations on behavior during the flight. Please keep in mind that the airline may refuse to accept transportation if the passenger’s physical condition threatens his safety, impedes the performance of the crew’s official duties, and also creates unavoidable inconveniences and risks for the passenger and others during the flight.
• Choose aisle seats to make it easier for you to get up. To avoid leg swelling, especially during long-haul flights, get up and walk regularly.
• For long-haul flights, choose seats with increased legroom or purchase a seat in the Business Class cabin. Thanks to the extra legroom, you can change their position.
• Travel with an accompanying person, if possible.
• Drink plenty of water during the flight and refrain from drinks that cause dehydration (tea, coffee).
• Do not forget to bring all your medical documents with you. If you are traveling abroad, translate these documents into English or another language that will be understandable in the destination country.
Admission to transportation of newborns
Healthy newborn babies are accepted for transportation at least 7 days old. Newborn children under the age of 7 days, as well as children transported in incubators/boxes for artificial lung ventilation, are not accepted for transportation on JSC flights.
